It is the result of the refurbishment of three old, attached houses, in which the entrance has been moved to the interior garden and some façades have been doubled in order to create galleries in the remaining spaces. The project breaks the typological features of the old houses and creates a unitary dwelling: a stepped volume from the south façade to the partition wall on the west side, with a doubled brick wall crowned with battlements. Numerous wooden elements are used on the façades, such as the corner struts. The interior recreates a fresh atmosphere, with wisteria and Arabic ornaments, an ideal refuge for the architect after his exile.
The house is surrounded by a garden with a brick fence and iron bars.
As it was supposed to be a summer house, he isolated the south and west façades with new ones, parallel to the original ones, leaving galleries between them in order to reduce the effect of insolation.
While Puig lived there, the façades were covered by ivy and a vine.
The interior presents countless nooks and crannies, level differences, elongated perspectives and narrow and thin viewpoints with transparencies filtered by bars and curtains, even vegetal ones.
In 1897, Puig i Cadafalch asked for permission to modify three attached houses that he had acquired in Dolors Montserdà Street in the town of Argentona, where he had planned his temporary residence. Of these three old houses, Puig i Cadafalch made a single one but took advantage of the old walls, which were not joined at the right angles in any corner. As in other cases, he did not sign the plans himself. As in the Coll i Regàs house in Mataró, Antoni Ma. Gallissa did it, the favourite disciple and assistant of Elias Rogent. However, Puig himself could have done it since his resignation from the position of municipal architect of Mataró, although recent, had already taken place.
